You mean one of the live blogging sites that covers it during the event?

I always found http://www.macrumorslive.com/ to be the best in the past.


What I was looking for is a way to watch the keynote in its entirety without knowing the ending beforehand. For example, I will not be near a computer today. I want to watch the keynote without knowing what products and services have been announced, updated, etc.

It's sort of like watching a movie, in that you do not want to know too many details beforehand, and you certainly do not want to know how it ends.


Luckily, MacRumors is publishing a spoiler-free liunk:

In the past there was always a quicktime stream of the keynote posted about 2-5 hours after the official keynote takes place. This is a great way to watch it and it is usually on the front page of apple.com.
 
I know there are other places but I came across this one.

This is such an important event for Apple and there's so much surrounding it. I'm hoping they announce a membership for itunes that allows unlimited music and movie streaming, or some sort of advancement in Apple TV. Oh yea......I want to see what my new iphone looks like.

Merged into the big WWDC Thread. Thanks for the heads up!

My predictions:

3G iphone - 2 colors, 2 prices $199/$299 (after rebates from at&t). GPS and iChat included.
New ipods/touches - higher capacity, touches updated to new 3g iphone software/firmware
New macbooks with LED screens and multitouch
.Mac Refreshed = Mobile Me
OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" released to the masses 😉

 
ok so a pre-emptive question because I am hoping for a 32gb $200 iphone. I already have a 8gb with at&t wireless. To upgrade to the new one since I am only 6 months in my contract. Do i have to resign with at&t for another 2 years or can i just pop out the sim on one and pop it into the new one and call it a day?

No one knows just yet. However there are rumors of a $200 credit if you sign on with at&t for another 2 years. I'm guessing the iphones will come in 16gb/32gb flavors @ $399/$499 each. If you choose to sign on for another 2 years then you will get the rebate check from at&t for $200 which will lower the price to $199/$299....but again that is just rumors - we will find out in 20 mins or so

i don't really care about rebates. I just want to figure out if say they have a 32gb iphone for $500. Can i just go to the apple stores buy one pop in my old sim from my old iphone and roll. Or will i need to extend my contract + pay another activation fee just to be able to use a new phone I will be paying full price for.
 
Youch this guy needs a better audio feed or mic or something, its really hard to hear.

Yea, the developer stuff gets a bit long winded IMO, but thats who the conference is really aimed at so I guess we have to take the boring with the good 🙂
 
Cough Cough Cough... Type Type Type... THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE 🙂
 
"Look at that- isn't that amazing?

...crickets."

I guess they have to show the dev stuff first, or it'd be intolerably boring if we'd just heard about the new hardware. Listening to this audio feed reminds me of me playing WOW and using voicechat on my Powerbook- you can hear the typing really clearly because the mic is right next to the keyboard.

Ooo! Pangea!
Awesome. I was hoping there'd be a Cro-Mag rally for the iPhone.
